PREFACE

This book has been written as a learning aid for my EFL students (English as a Foreign Language). It is geared towards upper-intermediate and advanced students, and the first half goes over the most common verbs, such as come, bring, put, and make, while the second half runs through the most common prepositions, such as up, down, with, and on. I’ve grouped the phrasal verbs together to make them sink inquicker. I’ve also included multiple images in every chapter to draw out the various shades of meaning, and to make the words easier to memorize. Each chapter has at least one vocabulary table, one micro-text,one short exercise, and several striking images. All answers can be found at the back of the book, and in many questions more than one answer is possible. At the end of the book, the vocabulary is revised in a number of exercises for antonyms and synonyms. For those of you that are hungry for extra resources, I have a YouTube channel with almost 100 video lessons (‘Learn Phrasal Verbs’) that focus on the same vocabulary. The playlist is here:

YouTube Lessons on Phrasal Verbs

The following abbreviations crop up page after page in this book, so while you are leafing through or

scrolling down, please remember the following:

sb = someonesth = somethingsw = somewhere

I’d like to thank Yury Khristich for doing the layout of the book. I’d also like to thank my wife for designing the cover. And lastly, I’d like to thank Wagner ‘Otto’ Verndl, one of my students, for patiently and painstakingly poring over the subtle details of each and every phrasal verb during our classes. These lessons have undoubtedly made this book a great deal easier to put together.

THE MOST COMMON PHRASAL VERBS

To learn anything by heart, it’s necessary to go back over the vocabulary that you learnt at the beginning of your studies; therefore, let’s kick off with all those phrasal verbs that you’ll hear all the time in any English-speaking country. If you haven’t come across these words already, you are sure to stumble upon them soon. The first table includes some very common phrasal verbs along with their opposites, and it’s well worth remembering that the opposing part could be the verb itself (go/come, put/take), or the preposition (on/off, out/in, up/down, together/apart), or both of these. Please note that we use the prepositions out of and into when the phrasal verb has an object, but we just use out and in when there is no object. Bear in mind that in some informal speech, you may hear natives using the latter version even when there is an object.

For example

go out / come in (no object)He went out at 10pm. He came in and shut the door.

go out of somewhere / come into somewhere. (use out of and into + object)He went out of the shed.He came into the dining room.

Vocabulary

get on sth / off sth enter / exit (public transport and bikes)

get in / out (into sth / out of sth) enter / exit (cars and taxis)

go out / come in (into / out of) enter / exit (building, room)

turn sth on / off switch on / off (machine)

put sth on / take sth off dress and undress (clothes)

put sth in / take sth out (into sth / out of sth) remove or add item (bag, pocket, box)

put sth together / take sth apart (dis)assemble (a model, equipment, furniture)

do sth up / undo, zip sth up / unzip, tie sth up / untie, button sth up / unbutton (similar to) wrap sth up / unwrap

fasten, cover (completely)

The fact that we decided to do up our flat had nothing to do with the barbed comments that some friends had come out with during their last visit. The day after the visit we splashed out on new flooring and wallpaper, doing the whole ground floor out in a Victorian style. I couldn’t possibly do without my cosy fireplace, so we decided to keep it but paint over it once again. The flooring company tried to do us out of 2000 quid, but we had already figured out that the total cost should only come to £1500; having taken the problem up with senior management, we were quickly given a complete refund. We only have to iron out a few problems next week, and then the renovations will be finished. No one will have the nerve to run our house down again.
